The kits incorporate Topcon’s GX-60 control box and the
MC-R3
machine control receiver capable of tracking all current and planned satellite
system signals.

LIVERMORE, Calif. –Topcon Positioning Systems (TPS) introduces the new Z63 and G63
machine control kits for dozers and motor graders.

Z63
and G63 kits incorporate Topcon’s GX-60 control box, originally a component of
the X63 indicate system for excavators, and the
MC-R3
machine control receiver capable of tracking all current and planned satellite
system signals.

Murray
Lodge, vice president of construction sales, said, “Topcon is taking the next
big technology leap with the new platform for 3D GPS+ machine control. We’re providing versatility and compatibility
options by putting the power of the GX-60 and MC-R3 to work on dozers and motor
graders. In fact, the MC-R3 component is
an integral part of what makes the revolutionary Topcon 3D-MC2 dozer
system possible. 3D-MC2 is an advanced control system that maximizes
dozer performance by doubling or more the speed and accuracy over any existing
3D machine control system.”

The
new machine control platform, which is also compatible with excavator
systems, has “more horsepower and flexibility and provides greater
opportunities for increased productivity and time savings on every job,” said
Lodge.

“The
versatile MC-R3 receiver follows Topcon's unique Smart Building Block design
making it easy to conform to all machine control needs,” Lodge said. “Whether the user needs a single antenna or
dual, indicate or automatic, radio or network compatibility, the MC-R3 receiver
does it all. The advanced design allows
you to change system configurations by simply snapping in a new board.

“The
GX-60 with its color touch screen display, provides operators with the easiest
interface available in the market today and its powerful processor tackles
large jobs without a problem,” Lodge said. “The smaller size and weight of the
unit fits comfortably in all-size cabs and even bolts directly in many of
Caterpillar's built-in displays in the console.

“For
operators looking for a light bar option, the GX-60 is compatible with an
optional LD-40 remote light bar. Users
can select up to three displays, one for the left and right sides and one for
steering.

Advantages
of Topcon's Z63 and G63 kit systems include:

GX-60 provides automatic control;

Multi-constellation tracking
– supporting all current and planned satellite system signals;
